The seeds are planted here
But they won't grow
We won't have to say goodbye

If we all go
Maybe things will be better in Chicago
To leave all we've ever known

For a place we've never known
Maybe things will be better in Chicago
Well it's braver to stay

Even braver to go
Wherever she goes I go
Maybe things will be better in Chicago


What we need the lord will give us
All we want we carry with us

You know where I can be found
Where the rainbow hits the ground
I'm not alone

I'm not afraid
This bird has flown from his cage
There's so much magic we have known

On this saphire we call home
With my coat and my hat
I say goodbye to all that

Maybe things will be better in Chicago
Maybe things will be better in Chicago
